I made the HUGE mistake of trying out the viral butterfly cut at home – I was gobsmacked at how awful it turned out
A BEAUTY fan was left moritified after her attempt at the on-trend butterfly cut went horribly wrong.
It’s the haircut that’s taken over our social media feeds – the viral butterfly cut that’s supposed to be a relatively easy way to give your curls some layers.
But whilst for many the at-home cut, popularised by celebrity hair whizz Brad Mondo, has been a huge success, not everyone’s had the best results.
And sadly, Jeimy Morones (@jeimymorones) belongs in the latter category.
The woman, believed to be from the US, shared the hair-rific fail on TikTok – and it’s quite the rollercoaster.
After dividing her hair into two ponytails, Jeimy grabbed scissors and chopped a huge chunk off both from the front section and the back.
Unfortunately, it was at this point when she realised she had messed up.
”I made a huge mistake,” she said in the video whilst demonstrating the locks she had just cut off.
”Look how I cut it…. […] Now we just have to hope for the best.
”We have to hope for the best because look how short [it is].”
At first, once she had managed to bring herself to look at the mirror, things didn’t appear to be that bad – in fact, Jeimy was quite pleased with the results.
”Oh, it’s not that bad! Still long.”

But upon inspecting the new hairdo properly, she quickly realised the major mistake she had just made – the layers were so choppy and uneven, Jeimy couldn’t believe her eyes.
The situation didn’t look much better from the back, with the woman exclaiming in horror: ”Oh!
”It’s gonna take so long to grow back,” the mortified beauty fan wrote in the caption.
Since being uploaded on the popular video-sharing platform just three days ago, the clip has gone viral, amassing almost 420k views.
Safe to say, it’s not just Jeimy who was horrified – viewers were just as petrified.
One TikTok user cried out: ”babe you just went through all 5 stages of grief in one video.”
”I can feel the regret,” a second added.
A third was convinced Jeimy hadn’t used the proper tools, wondering: ”You used meat scissors didn’t you.”
”Just dye it all black for more even look,” read a recommendation.
